Donald Trump's Trade Wars Are Roiling Wisconsin GOP [View all]

By Cameron Joseph | August 14, 2018 6:00 am

PLATTEVILLE, WI — Steve North, the head of the Wisconsin Dairy Business Association, is enough of a dyed-in-the-wool Republican to spend his Monday morning at a campaign stop for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R). But when asked about how President Trump’s standing might effect his party this year, he immediately expressed concern over Trump’s ongoing trade wars.

“The reality is a change in our marketplace has been discomforting for sure, to say the least. There’s a lot of heartburn about where prices are at right now. So that will be something that we’ll have to work through as we come through fall,” North told TPM at a Walker campaign event at Digman Construction, a small company outside small-town Platteville in the state’s rural southwestern corner.

North’s group is nonpartisan, and has endorsed candidates from both parties in the past. He said he thought most Republican-leaning voters are willing to deal with some short-term economic pain to give Trump some time to figure things out, and doesn’t think it’s fair that others who voted for Trump are now unhappy with him doing what he promised to do.

“You don’t send a bull into a china shop and hope for a whole plate at the end,” North said.

And as for the asshole Walker, he rides a Harley, well, they are Union made, and he doesn't like unions, so he in essence he also is full of shit ........................to all of wisconsin voter's somewhere along the line, he approved the republican convention language praising Russia and the Ukraine and the lifting of those sanctions, he knew also he was enabling traitor...................he also should have called the FBI, and he didn't...........................
